Save a Page as a Template

If the Advanced Design features included with your Microsoft Office Live Small Business account have been activated, you can save any page in your Web site as a template for use in creating future Web pages. Any page template created with this process stores the entire design of the page, including custom designs you created using other Advanced Design features.

The template is saved in the Template Gallery in Web Site for the account.

To activate the Advanced Design features, see Activate and Deactivate Advanced Design Features.
